Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, blending from the middle down to the corners of the mouth.

Bolt with tissue. Now replay another coat of your lip colour, blot again and add lip gloss if required.

TOP 5 TIPS FOR LIPS

If you decide a lipstick is too bright for you once you’ve got it on, but scrubbing it off will ruin your foundation, mix a bit foundation with Vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.

Dark, Matt lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.
